“It had no brakes, no lights and no owner. It had a kickstart, and that was enough for us.”

It is buried deep in the long grass behind the rec: an abandoned Honda moped. It has no brakes and a rusty chain, but it has a kickstart. We give it one good kick, then another, and suddenly the engine roars into life. Now, how do you stop this thing?

The engine coughed once, twice, and then it roared... and we were off!

From the back cover

In a field of overgrown grass lies the discovery of a lifetime: a forgotten moped. It's rusty, it's missing a few bits, but it just might work.

After a bit of poking and a lot of kicking, the engine finally starts. The only problem is, nobody checked for brakes first.

They'll be home in time for tea, just as long as they don't mention the oil stains.
